README.md

cyclone-scheme

Cyclone is an experimental Scheme-to-C compiler that uses a variant of the Cheney on the MTA technique to implement full tail recursion, continuations, generational garbage collection, and native threads.

Getting Started

  1. To install Cyclone on your machine for the first time use cyclone-bootstrap to build a set of binaries.

  2. After installing you can run the cyclone command to compile a single Scheme file:

     $ cyclone examples/fac.scm
 $ examples/fac
 3628800

    And the icyc command to start an interactive interpreter:

     $ icyc

               :@

 cyclone> (write 'hello-world)
 hello-world

    You can use rlwrap to make the interpreter more friendly, EG: rlwrap icyc.

  3. Read the documentation below for detailed information on how to use Cyclone.

Documentation

The User Manual covers in detail how to use Cyclone, and provides information and API documentation on the Scheme language features implemented by Cyclone.

The Development Guide contains instructions for hacking on Cyclone.

Writing the Cyclone Scheme Compiler provides high-level details on how the compiler was written and how it works.

Finally, if you need a place to start learning the Scheme language try a classic textbook such as Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs.
